I think that one of my goals for 2008 is going to be to update here more than once a year. These aren't the first or the only things I've made this year, but they are the first photos I took.

This year, anyone who got homemade Christmas presents got crocheted washcloths. The pattern I'm using is this dishcloth pattern from The Dishcloth Botique. The yarn is Sugar&Cream, in solid green and a green/purple, and in blue and blue/brown/cream. I think I used a H hook, but I might be remembering wrong.



The two I sent [livejournal.com profile] amy_vic...

...and the two for [livejournal.com profile] jenbachand, plus a closeup of one of them.

This was a pattern I had made before, sans ruffle around the edge, so I knew what to expect from it. It's easy and fairly mindless, which means good tv-watching. If I make these again, I need to figure out how to make the point in the circle where I start new rows stand out less. It looks okay on the blue ones, but it's obvious in the other photos exactly where it happens. I also need to make the original chain more loosely so that I spend less time fighting with the first row.
